Leon Urban: Let’s celebrate America, Mr. Leddy

Bob Leddy is a talented writer. He articulates well. I enjoy his articles not only for his command of the written word, but for his wide knowledge of motion pictures.

Bob Leddy is a talented writer. I enjoy his articles not only for his command of the written word, but for his wide knowledge of motion pictures.

His “Asians in Hollywood” (Commentary, Aug. 12) came as a disappointment. It had the usual caliber of writing, and it was well researched. Well intended, I’m sure. It fell below my expectations mostly because Leddy involved himself with highlighting mundane, anecdotal incidents — gender, ethnic, racial — in the motion picture industry out of context which tend to divide our wonderful country.

It is a fad today to knock America. I expect more of Bob.

America is reeling. We need authors who will, rather than kick America while it’s down, give it a grateful lift. Writers who are willing to direct their talent to bringing America together.

America has the best culture the world has ever known- – we are the model. Proof of this: turn on your television and see how other cultures the world over live. Rose-colored glasses are not permitted. Further proof: Why is everybody from all over the world trying to sneak in, if America is so bad?
